Figure 1 – ABS induced alterations in righting reflex and body weight gain.

Figure 1 –

The schematic in a outlines the study design, indicating the day post ABS or Sham exposure at which the behavioral assays were conducted. All mice were anesthetized prior to the placement in the ABS apparatus. Confirmation of the mbTBI phenotype was indicated by an increased righting reflex latency (s) in b. Mice exposed to the ABS condition designated mbTBI exhibited increased righting reflex latencies relative to Sham animals (*** denotes a p < 0.001). Weekly % weight gain throughout the experimental period is represented in c. ABS – advanced blast simulator, PPI – prepulse inhibition, FST – forced swim test, SPT – sucrose preference test, mbTBI – mild traumatic brain injury.
